FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
ECONOMIC WAY OF RAISING POTATOES.

A most successful way Of raising
potatoes in the South is by plant.
ing them in what is called "lazy
bed" which is done by applying
manure very heavily in the rows
and then covering the whole bed
with straw, leaves, corn.stalks, or
any coarse litter. BY this plan,
no working or wedding is requir.
ed and the growth is not stopped by
the first hot, dry weather, as the
ground is kept cool and moist,
which greatly increases the yield
of the potatoes and makes them of
much better quality.
A good plan, by which several
objects are combined, is to select a
field which is to be sown to wheat
next fall, and fence in as much as
will make good-sized feeding lot
for COWS and sheep. In this en-
closure feed all of the cOrn.stalks.
The following spring take the adj
joining land for potatoes; plough
well then lay off three or four
rows at a time on the side furthest
from the cow.pen. Make the fur
rows deep; drop the potatoes at
good distances apart, and fill the
furrow entirely up with coarse ma
nure, keeping on in this way until
all are planted. The object in
planting only a few rows at a time
is, to avoid running the manure
wagon over the burrows, as this
would destroy them. After the
field is all planted, rake with hay
or stalk.rake the stalks from the
cow.pen on the potato plot, so that
the covering will be foot thick
after settling. This is all that is
needed until harvest, when the
stalks are raked from the potatoes
and tbinly spread over the wheat
field, to be ploughed under. The
potatoes can be gathered without
digging, as they will either be on
top of the ground or in the loose
manure. In the South, potatoes
raised in this way may be left in
the ground all winter and gathered
in perfect condition in the spring.
The conditions of success with
this method are, to use plenty OF
manure and to have the mulch at
least foot thick. Nothing is so
good for a mulch as corn stalks,
and in raising potatoes in a garden,
the stalks may be piled on the edge
of the patch in gathering, and may
be used for several years.-Amer'-

the chap full of gin. who staggers
along like wavering loon, and he
can not, to save him, refrain from a
grin. And anon he can see from his
seat in the moon, fellow who's reck-
less and brainless to boot, who sails
up mile in giant balloon. and sails
down again ON a big parachute. And
again he can smile at tine man with a
gun, who asks at the desk if the edi-

when the struggle is done, and carried
away on the point of pin. There are
thousands of jokes for the man in the
moon, and he smiles when he sees
